Just thought Id porvide some clarity on this thread. I was speaking with my OSM and he explained it to me like this. This is one of the most underutilized fields in the Army due to the intense schooling involved. Works for me I love that science stuff

As someone else stated it's all subjective. If people move up as fast as Mr.Loki suggests there is probably something less desirable about the field. I've been around some chem units.....and ennnnnnn it's alright. Their training isn't as exciting as other's I have seen.

If you are enlisted I could see where you could be told to do a lot of stuff not related to your field. Could happen......

If you like science you should think about becoming a Nuclear specialist in the Navy, second highest drop out rate very challenging.

I like the field because I have had some experience with bioterrorism countermeasures and emergency planning with our local planning office. My office also takes a lead role in decon inthe event that the nuclear reactor goes boom. So alot of what I do complements this field.
